Explorer

I love to explore new places, ideas and technology. When I'm not working, I'm usually tinkering on projects, checking out new frameworks or languages, or out exploring somewhere I haven't been before.

Maker

I make a lot of stuff, although much of it is experimental and doesn't end up on github. I'm working to address this :) I have grand plans for some of my stuff, though, so I'm keeping some things close to my chest.

Theorist

I have a deep interest in programmable systems, beyond just playing with the latest cool language. I need to know how things work. I'm interested in semantics, design trade-offs and implementation details.


Beaver's Tail

It's an online ordering thing

This was a small contract job that turned into a large, ongoing contract with hosting and support on the side.

Indie Game Toolkit

My current project

I stongly believe in bending technology to suit people, not the other way around. This project aims to make some headway in that direction.

Artwork shown is borrowed from the indie game Freedom Fall created by Lisa Rye.

Lost in Space

Belle of Nine Fables

That time I made a game in 7 days

My PyWeek entry. It was too big for a solo project, playable but unfinished. Written in Python with Pyglet. Port to WebGL in progress. Use WASD to move, Space to jump.

Firefly Engine

A multi-user dungeon

In the era of MUDs, frustration with LPC compelled me to make a server that worked a bit differently.
